We’ve all been there – reaching for a Q-tip, thinking it’s the best way to clean our ears and enjoy that satisfying feeling.
However, when it comes to ear hygiene, Q-tips may not be the best tool for the job, and they can actually pose some serious risks, especially for those of us with limited dexterity and fine motor weakness.
You see, using Q-tips to clean your ears requires precise control, and without it, you can actually end up pushing earwax deeper into the ear canal, causing blockages or impactions.
Not good, right? Let’s instead take control of our ear hygiene with a safer and more accessible solution. Introducing, the game-changing WUSH Ear Cleaning Tool.
With its ergonomic design, easy to hold grip, and user-friendly features, the Woosh is an awesome tool for people with disabilities. It has a foldable nozzle that connects to a soft, antimicrobial irrigation tip that fits comfortably in your ear.
With an easy to press button, the WUSH then generates a massaging triple jet stream of water that gently removes wax build-up and flushes it away! It’s waterproof (you can use it in the shower) and has a rechargeable battery and stand.
Introducing the Topple Tray, a total game-changer that merges convenience and modern style in the world of disability solutions.
With the magic of physics, carrying drinks and food has never been easier. Basically, the swinging motion of the tray counteracts the sloshing or movement of items on the non-slip tray, keeping them completely balanced. It’s super intuitive, with no practice needed.
You can carry up to nine drinks while keeping a spare hand free to hold on to a bannister, walking stick, or mobility aid, or to carry other items. Plus, the Topple Tray is super lightweight, thin, foldable, and easy to store.
So, whether you’re carrying drinks, food, or personal items, the Topple Tray makes single-handed (and shaky and weak-handed) use a breeze.
Here’s another awesome product for people with disabilities by One Hand Productions, makers of the Topple Tray. Introducing (insert drum roll here) Grip Toggles.
Imagine popping your spoon, toothbrush, or any small-diameter tool into a Grip Toggle and feeling it snugly secure in your hand. That stretchy stalk isn’t just for show – it’s your grip enhancer, making sure everything stays right where it should.
But wait, there’s more! The top of each Grip Toggle boasts a suction cup that turns you into a door-opening, microwave-mastering, laptop-lifting superhero. Smooth surface? Suction the toggle and give it a gentle pull – it’s that simple.
Grip Toggles aren’t just gadgets; they’re the key to regaining control and independence. So, whether it’s a stubborn door, a laptop computer, or a tiny paintbrush, these toggles make life easier and more manageable.
Reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian has introduced an amazing Adaptive Collection to her trendy brand, Skims.
Building upon their ‘Fits Everybody’ collection, Skims Adaptive was born to bridge a gap in the world of accessible clothing and lingerie. It offers a wide range of color options and fashion-conscious features to cater to different sizes.
The Skims Adaptive line currently boasts incredibly soft bralettes, camis, panties, and bodysuits – all featuring convenient hook and eye closures.
Their aim is to help everyone feel confident and fabulous, regardless of body shape or capabilities. Pretty cool, don’t you think?
By the way, I’m also loving the lace bras with loop pulls from Aerie’s adaptive line.
When the chilly weather starts to set in, something as simple as lining up and gripping a zipper can turn just getting out of your house into a real challenge.
But fear not my perfectly imperfect fashionista friends, because Tommy Hilfiger has you covered with their new stylish faux fur jackets.
Tommy’s faux fur jackets come equipped with game-changing magnetic zip closures and extended zipper pulls. So, no more struggling with traditional zippers.
And guess what? These cute jackets are available in three “go with everything” colors and they’re currently 30% off and under $100. With these jackets, you can stay warm, cozy, and fashionable this fall and early winter without the hassle of dealing with tricky zippers.
Tommy Hilfiger has truly hit the mark by creating jackets that blend style with accessibility, making life more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. If you’re in the market, be sure to order one soon as they’ll definitely sell out!
You know that struggle when you’re trying to carry both your plate of delicious bites and your drink at a party? Yeah, it can be a real juggling act. But here’s where the super cool Knork Appetizer plate sets swoop in to save the day especially for people with balance related challenges and hand weakness.
These bad boys have a trick up their sleeve – or should I say, under the plate. They’ve got this nifty slot that holds your drink securely. So, no more wobbly balancing acts or accidental spills. You can stroll around, chat, and snack like a pro.
It’s like a superhero power for partying!
It’s all about independence and having the freedom to enjoy social events without constantly worrying about dropping stuff. With Knork Appetizer plate sets, you’re in control, and that’s a game-changer. Cheers to that! 🎉🍽️🥂
Dealing with chronic pain, tingling, and numbness from peripheral neuropathy (or any other condition)? Imagine having a non-invasive, game-changing solution right in your own home.
Red light devices emit low-level wavelengths of—you guessed it—red light, which penetrates the skin and stimulates cellular activity.
Basically, the red light goes through your skin and kind of wakes up your cells. And what’s even cooler is that studies show (and real people report) that red light therapy helps boost blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote the production of collagen.
Devices designed for feet and hands, like the highly-rated red light foot slippers and the ones for hands, allow users to conveniently target specific affected areas, hopefully making that pesky neuropathy feel a bit more chill.
So, why not add it to your routine? Who knows, it might just be the thing you’ve been looking for. But, hey, don’t forget to talk to your doc before diving into any new treatments (i.e., please don’t sue me!).
Revlon has recently launched a disability friendly collection of beauty tools called, Comfort + Control.
These tools are all about making grooming easier for people with limited hand mobility or joint pain. The collection includes a Tweezer, Nail Nipper, and a Lash Curler. All were designed with a comfortable, non-slip texture.
You can snag these amazing tools online only right now, starting at just $13.99. And guess what? Whether you’re a beauty newbie or a pro, these tools are tailored to make your beauty routine a piece of cake, whether you’re at home or on the go.
It’s all part of a bigger movement towards accessibility, where brands like Revlon, are finally putting inclusivity front and center.
Btw, CVS has also recently debuted a line of accessible beauty tools called, One+Other.
